It's a sure bet...

What if you knew the date of the general Election before it became public knowledge.. Would you place a bet on it with a bookie.. ?

Tell the truth..

Would I .?  Yep !! I sure would.. Could do with a bit of extra money..

Depends how I found out and if it was obvious I may have. I'm assuming that was the case with those who just did that and not smart enough to figure that the bookies would note a load of bets going on a very outside chance just before it happened.

Now if somebody from the Tories had called me and asked me to place their bet for them on commission well hell why not? I don't even think it's against the law unlike insider trading on the stock market.

Psst ... Do you want to buy some WINNING Lottery numbers.. 

I can't give these numbers to just anyone.. I have to be careful.. Know what I mean !!  
So, the first  100 people to send me a tenner will be the lucky ones.. 
Don't be too disappointed I will be doing the same again next week..

I won £50 on Premium Bonds this week.  No luck at all on the lottery.  I might have to send you a tenner. 😉
